Narconon of Georgia Receives Plaque

Narconon of Georgia has a new plaque.  An orphanage in Honduras sent it in thanks to Narconon, a non-12 step drug rehab, for establishing a sauna and exercise program for drug addicted orphans.

As a long term non traditional drug treatment center, Narconon of Georgia helped a Honduran medical doctor establish the Narconon New Life Detoxification Program in this orphanage to aid in the growing epidemic of addicted street orphans in their country. The sauna program had astounding results with the children as reflected by the words on the plaque: “With eternal gratitude to Narconon of Georgia and to each of you for your personal dedication to the training of our staff, so that the children can live free of drugs and prosper.”

The children also sent handmade Christmas cards reflecting the relief they felt after completing the sauna program: Gerson, a 17 year old addict, wrote, “When I finished sauna I felt different, for example I no longer think of drinking liquor or smoking tobacco. I am happier then ever.” Kevin, 16 years old, stated: “I haven’t met you but I am very happy because you helped me by bringing the sauna, and I no longer have cravings for drugs.”

Narconon of Georgia is a non-traditional drug abuse treatment program which was founded in 1967 whose mission also includes drug education and working with children.  While many drug rehab statistics are nebulous, Narconon boasts a 76% success rate (based on a two year follow-up) through a non-12 step drug treatment program.  This program provides body detoxification through a sauna and exercise program that helps eliminate or reduce cravings.  After the sauna program, the client learns those life skills essential to success in life and the ability to stay clean.  They graduate from Narconon with a life plan and continued support to make sure they make it in life.
